Introducing Nonprofit Strategic Communications, an eight session professional development series designed to help nonprofit practitioners communicate with purpose, build trust, and inspire action.

This inaugural cohort offers a unique opportunity to learn from distinguished faculty who will explore the critical role of strategic communications at a time when the purpose and value of nonprofits are increasingly being questioned. Throughout this hands on program, you’ll develop a strategic communication plan tailored to your organization, strengthen your messaging, engage key stakeholders, and explore practical tools to support your work. You’ll leave with a communication strategy you can immediately put into action.

Thanks to support from NCN, this inaugural cohort is being offered at a reduced tuition of $250. The insights and experiences of this first cohort will help shape future offerings of the program.

Our Certificate in Nonprofit Leadership and Management prepares nonprofit practitioners to lead with confidence through practical learning, real world application, and guidance from experienced practitioners.
